The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Virginia chapter offers a wide range of free educational and support programs for patients, their families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

Patti Robinson Kaufmann First Connection Program.  If you've recently been diagnosed with blood cancer, you may find it helpful to speak with someone who's been through treatment and learned how to manage the same disease. The Patti Robinson Kaufmann First Connection Program is a peer-to-peer program that links newly diagnosed patients and their families with trained volunteers who have experienced blood cancer firsthand and can understand your experience. Trained volunteer survivors offer caring support and information by sharing their special perspectives on the recovery process.
